2001 Toyota Camry CE review from North America
"Great reliable commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car leaks oil every time I put in brand new oil. The speakers seemed to be popped because I play my music really loud.
General comments?
This is the car I learned how to drive in and the only one I've owned so I can't really compare it with respect to anything else. I've been really rough to the car but it seems invincible. Other than that what I can tell you it is a very reliable car. One problem I have with the car is an oil leak that started around 60,000 miles. Ever since the oil leak my car has been low on oil and I put oil in it once in a while, but still the car never shakes or rattles and performs great now at 120,000. I love driving on the freeways especially because of the high mpg. The car is very quiet and smooth. Never once did the car overheat even when I drive at high speeds in extreme heat. The steering wheel is very easy to move. Other than the oil problem which really pisses me off even though car still runs fine, it's a great vehicle. The car also comes with excellent stock speakers and bass. The car would be cooler if it could have a higher top speed, acceleration, and turn faster.
